Very drinkable but definitely not big and bold as expected. Cute name and all, but basically it is a fairly well-balanced and a hint of blackberry and chocolate. For the price, would not buy it again, but was good to try once!

Perfect time to drink. Dark fruit, cinnamon and mocha on the nose. After an hr. or so, serious chocolate and coffee. Make sure you save a little for dessert to have with a good dark chocolate. Perfect match!

Very dense on the nose with blueberries, blackberries, tobacco and anise. The palate was equally powerful with a lot of of chocolate and coffee and hints of blueberries and black currants. Mild tannins yet a big wine with a lot of flavor.

Smoke, leather and a vegetable component. Better after open an hour or so.
